Abstract

This Paper explains the various aspects of the effect of the Covid-19, Corona, epidemic on the development of communication rationality. The main question of the paper is what significant social consequences does the corona have in the global public sphere and its dependent global consciousness system? It argues that the Corona crisis has unprecedentedly expanded and deepened the possibility of dialogue on beneficial lifestyles that focus on the public good at the transnational level; A dialogue that, based on the shaping of rational agreements in the global public sphere, can lead to the promotion of effective communication rationality for the expansion of Cosmopolitanism. The paper shows that even now, influenced by these global dialogues on the Corona epidemic, the global public sphere has been able to address the diverse interconnectedness of human interests, regardless of ethnic, sexual, or national characteristics, more than at any time in contemporary history. Accordingly, it predicts that more systematic attention to issues such as sustainable development at the level of global policy-making in the post-corona space will be among the results of this situation.
